Dear Ms. Santos: The answer to your question is five times since 2002. Earler then that data is not available to me through my sources. It appears that title transfers have been made by the owner into different entities. The last transfer was a Trustee Sale to the lender (foreclosure).

If you need information from 1998 through June 2002, I would suggest going to the Sacramento County Recorder's office. You can access this information at no cost to you and it is public record. They are located at

Ben Jackson acquired title prior to 1988. He refinanced and borrowed $38,000 in 2000. In 2002, he refinanced again and borrowed $72,000. Then he quitclaimed title from himself to the Jackson Trust. In 2003, he borrowed another $13,000. In 2005, another $20,000 (most likely he paid off the $13,000). In 2005, he paid off both loans through a new refi of $95,000. Looks like the problem occurred when he transferred title back to himself as an individual and borrowed $225,000 from Downey Savings and Loan in June of 2006.

In 2007, he quitclaimed to Chyeme Culbertson, which means the existing loan was taken subject to, and then Downey Savings and Loan foreclosed and acquired title last October by trustee's sale. The weird thing is the quitclaim appears to be from the trust to Culbertson, and the Trust was not in title at that point.

I can only see transactions on our system from 2002 and forward. There was a transfer in 2002 (quit claim deed) to Ben Jackson. There were a few transactions where it was moved into a trust. for the Jacksons. It was sold in 4/07, then the bank acquired it back in a foreclosure in 10/08. That makes three transfers since 2002.

I used to have more access but our illustrious legislators have restricted ANY services that the title companies provide to realtors without charging us. Somewhere they believed that title companies providing those services created a loyalty with between title companies and realtors that hurt the general public. ..... that garbage has hurt us all. (sorry I digress)
